[XML-SIG] New stuff on w3.org

[Chris Jones]

Forgive the abrupt de-cloak... but this is nice to hear...  I'm diving 
quite deeply into implementing Python with PyXML, and was really 
wondering what you (the creators) think the core aspects of PyXML are-- 
I'm really banking on it, think its a great API, and would like to know 
where you're headed.  When any organization is going to dive deep into a 
technology, questions (and FUD) inevitably arise about the longevity and 
direction of the technologies you're using.  I agree that complexity for 
complexity's sake is the fastest way to kill an API, protocol, or standard.

Anyone care to speak up about what they think the core functionality of 
PyXML should be for the long-term (in this world I think thats about 6 
to 9 months)?

Thanks in advance,
